Unwinnable Monthly – June 2023

By David Shimomura • June 20th, 2023

Come as you are.

The Dragon #1

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • June 19th, 2023

A genuine piece of RPG history.

Here's the Thing
Rob's black cat Finley, adorably resting his chin on a carpeted cat tower.

The False Myth of the Black Cat

By Rob Rich • June 15th, 2023

While the times have changed, black cats are sometimes still saddled with unfair stigma – and Rob rants about why that’s ridiculous.

Two screenshots, Inside on the left and Gorogoa on the right. For Inside, a young child is crouching behind a fence in dark, misty woods by a road and in the distance a truck backs up towards the shadow of an adult with a dog. For the Gorogoa shot there are four images, in the top left a notebook and some pocket watches on a map, to the right of that an animated fireplace, to the bottom left a broken statue, destroyed wall, and government building in the distance, and lastly a white mirror or dais as seen from above

Ideology Speaks Through Architecture: Exploring Inside and Gorogoa

By Hayes Geldmacher • June 14th, 2023

Whereas Inside demonstrates the depths of oppressive architectural language, Gorogoa does the opposite by elevating space beyond the physical into the cosmic. 

Forms in Light
A prime example of Capriccio, the painting depicts an idyllic countryside with several structures displaying different architectural styles.

Fantastic Follies

By Justin Reeve • June 14th, 2023

These wildly impractical structures were made for purely aesthetic purposes, perfectly complementing their pastoral surroundings.

Always Autumn
The sparely-lit stage of a punk show, camera moved during shuttering to create a purple and yellow-blurred portrait of a drum kit, a guitarist, a singer.

Last Night I Went to a House Show

By Autumn Wright • June 13th, 2023

Folded arms, cold gazes, straight couples dressed like they wanna be at a club in Williamsburg, which is to say “Kind of gay, but don’t be mistaken.”

Brain Scratch
A screencap from Mr. Sun's Hatbox, with a two-dimensional library battleground with some ladders on the stacks and a few blobs shooting, climbing, and falling to their painful deaths, as a rubber ducky stares in judgement

Giving Up Ghostwire for Mr. Sun’s Hatbox

By Steven Nguyen Scaife • June 12th, 2023

And although Mr. Sun’s Hatbox has such common, game-y elements as the deified skill tree, the smaller scope allows the game to move through it with a far greater efficiency and satisfaction than other games, where all the aforementioned permadeath and neck-snapping and resource-harvesting might stand out less.

Orcs

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • June 12th, 2023

Pig-faced orcs are the best orcs…but why exactly do they have pig faces?

Casting Deep Meteo
A grandiose painting of the famous Trojan horse from The Illiad being wheeled through the gates.

Threading the Timeline

By Levi Rubeck • June 9th, 2023

What is myth and legend other than image control, public relations, bending truth into natural blondness (or just that if one’s hair is blond they are a blonde).

Area of Effect
A man in a puffy periwinkle jacket and tall yellow boots peers downwards into a rock pool in front of a pink-hued sunset.

Flooded Memories

By Jay Castello • June 8th, 2023

What traces will our current sea level rise leave in the record? Cities under the water, yes, but what myths emerge from real Atlantises?
